Carbineer Archive

In my server there are only two elite carbines that i know of, I got one of them. I wondered if anyone else in any other server has, and I wish to know its stats to see if mine is good or bad. My stats are 83-139, 3.2 speed. Please post if you have one!

Has it been sliced? I have not seen an elite yet, but I heard they were on the slow side.

Yes it has, it went from 3.8 to 3.2 sorry i didn't include that, but it was pretty slow to begin with, thats what puzzled me. I mean Elite Carbines should be just that, elite but they are like the same as e-11's exept they are slower. Where's the advantage?

What are the HAM costs on it?

Because I currently have an EE3 with 40-153 damage, 3.5 spd, and pretty low HAM cost (don't remember for sure, around 25-35-20 I think)

I don't think the intent was to create a linear scale for weapons to progress, like in level based mmo's like EQ and DAOC. I think the intent was to have every weapon above the CDEF and possibly even next level (dh-17 in our case) have specific advantages and disadvantages. The elite carbine, for example, if those stats are correct would have the largest minimum damage of any carbine that I've personally seen. I see the EE3 has an AE effect (broken or not), and then there is the large damage/high variance/low speed laser carbine.

This is the trend I've seen for all the weapons, not just the carbines.

Yep Vin, I would agree with your their. Otherwise everyone would end up using the same Carbine. Another clue to that occured during Beta. They moved the skill requirements down from all of the top level professions..id say in part to reduce the expectation that they will be 'uba'

not the highest....on my server (flurry) the resources for E-11's are nonexistent, and the same for the Elites, but the DXR-6 is by far the coolest but not the best...

The reason they moved them down is because when they first put it in the beta testers revolted. Personally I like the old system better but oh well.

It's so hard to tell the qualities with weapons right now when the special metal you need shows up and it's completely worthlesscrap. How do you compare that to a lower level gun made with the best materials you can find?

i'd kill for that Elite Carbine
